For the past week (I'm in my 11th or 12th week) I have been eating no sugar

Last nite and today, I also ate 2 ice cream sandwiches (that makes 4!!).

nurse-midwife at the birth center instead of with the doctor. The doctor
wanted me to make sure to have an appointment with the midwife, ...

Hey everyone.   Just so you all know, AF arrived last night.   I haven't
been posting as much as I want to but I've been really down and out
lately....  I mean really down and out....  It just seems like the old

It looks like there are several scientific methods for sex selection
now.  From the absolute method of embryo selection to the pretty-good
method of sperm sorting (microsort).  From what I read, there is no
regulation of these practices.  Ethically, it sounds like they are

I have a history of drug use. I should say I had a history. It was over 5
years ago, the last time I used drugs was March 9th 1998. Here I sit with a
drug test that is positive for cocaine. A test I volunteered to do. It was a
hair strand test going back 6 months. I did the test for ...

Hi all!  Back in July I did my intro post.  I stated that I was going off of
bc and we were just going to let nature take its course.  Well, end of july
I had my last period.  August came and went with no period, but I had, and
still have, pains every so often that seems like it ...
